A MAN in his early twenties was left with critical injuries after a collision involving two taxis, in Johannesburg, on the N1 near the Booysens Road off-ramp, on Wednesday night, January 27.
Pieter Rossouw, ER24 spokesperson, said when paramedics arrived on scene, they found that there was only one injured person. “The patient was trapped in the vehicle and his leg was impaled by a steel rod which is believed to have been part of the car. It took ER24 paramedics and rescue services almost two hours to extricate the man safely and remove the object from his leg. He was then treated and transported by ER24 to Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital for further treatment,” explained Rossouw.
